  • "We have been here a few times now and as usual the standards were high."

    We love it here because it is quiet ,but with buses running every 15 minutes it's very easy to get around.We also love the provisions that the owner leaves for you.A lovely place to stay.

  • "We have been here before and are coming again in February."

    It is a lovely place to stay in a quiet little mews(a little bit of traffic noise but doesn't bother you much ).Bus stops round the corner every 15 mind ( we don't drive ).The cottage is spotless and well maintained and we love it.There is only one thing I would change and that is a nice armchair in the lounge rather than a rattan garden chair it would be perfect then. We enjoyed our stay as are looking forward to the next time.

    The owners provided lots of little extras,a bowl of fruit,bottle of wine,milk egg and was much appreciated.It could only be made perfect by having a proper armchair in the lounge and not a rattan chair which was not very comfortable .On the whole a lovely cottage and a lovely place to stay,frequent buses for those,like us who don't drive.We have already booked to go again in October.Many ,many thanks Mr and Mrs Houseden.

  • "We had an excellent holiday at 4 Old Post Office Mews."

    The owner was extremely helpful and contacted us prior to our stay with useful information. There was milk, fruit, biscuits and wine left for us which was very much appreciated. The house was spotlessly clean and had everything one could have wished for to enjoy a pleasant and comfortable holiday. We had a delicious Sunday Roast at the Hungry Bear in Brading and enjoyed several suppers from "The Brothers" Fish & Chip shop which is less than a minutes walk from the cottage and had a good selection of reasonably priced take-away food. We travelled to the IOW as foot passengers on the Wightlink Catamaran from Portsmouth Harbour station to Ryde. Bus Nos. 2 & 3 from Ryde pass through Brading every 15 mins and stop round the corner from the cottage (you alight at Brading Bullring bus stop) so getting out and about wasn't a problem, you don't necessarily need a car as the buses run until late evening. Brading also has a train station which we used when we visited the IOW Steam Railway as it has an easy interchange at Smallbrook Junction station. If one is looking for a central base to explore this beautiful island and maybe enjoy some of the scenic local walks, then 4 Old Post Office Mews is a delightful cosy cottage in a perfect location.

    . The position is great with chip shop less than a minute walk away, a great pup just a couple of minutes walk away. The facilities in the house are all good, maybe a pint glass would have been nice though. There is not really anything to moan about, we were nice and comfortable, and plan to return to this place in 2024

    All facilities you need are provided with the lovely addition of baby/toddler equipment if needed. We really felt very looked after with the kind welcome of fruit, wine and milk. The cottage is very clean with a little courtyard which was bright and sunny and parking space right outside the front door. Would highly recommend and thank you for an excellent stay!

  • "Cannot fault the cottage itself even though there was a plumbing issue which was promptly resolved by the owners we were just disappointed with Brading."

    We were expecting local pubs which we could walk to and have a meal and drinks but the 2 remaining pubs in the village felt like no go places with broken windows, looked uncared for and empty of customers also not serving food. However would recommend The Hungry Bear restaurant just round the corner for a special meal and the fish and chip shop was good 1 minute walk away. Bus service very close by was very good.

There is also a wide range of supermarkets on the central and eastern side of the island, so guests can easily fit a quick shop into a day out.

About the location

BRADING

Sandown 1.7 miles; Ryde 4 miles; Newport 8 miles.

A small historic rural town, steeped in history going back to the Stone Age, Brading is close to many attractions, from the 1900 year old Roman Villa, to the beautiful Nunwell House, which hosted Charles I on his last night of freedom. Around Brading there are 70 footpaths taking in the beauty of the marshlands and its amazing bird life, stretching to the Downs, which lie within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Brading also offers three welcoming pubs which serve food daily, a professional international auction room, with one to two auctions every month, specializing in fine art antiques and modern and vintage wares. Just outside the town you will find Adgestone Vineyard, which is set on the south facing slope overlooked by Brading Down, where it is believed the vines were originally planted by the Romans; its award-winning wine was chosen in 1994 for the dinner for the Queen to celebrate the anniversary of the D-Day Landings. Brading is also perfectly located for many of the Islands beaches, with the sands of Sandown and Yaverland only 1.7 miles away and the rock pools of Bembridge beach 3.5 miles away.
